To move a bookmark or bookmark folder into another folder on the bookmarks bar, click-and-drag on the entry you’d like to move—but drag vertically, not horizontally. When you move your mouse down, you’ll find that you’ve pulled the selected item opposite to the bookmarks bar. If you release the mouse button now, the dragged item be pleased disappear in a swell of smoke—so don’t release the mouse button.

Instead, drag the selected item up to the bookmarks bar again, and position it over the destination folder. When you do, the folder direction highlight—release the mouse now, and the dragged item pleasure exist filed within the highlighted folder. I find this a great deal of simpler than using the Show All Bookmarks menu item.
